Really GREAT early die cut Santa book published by Ernest Nister of London and E. P. Dutton of New York. Nice large book is aprox. 14&1/4" tall x 6&5/8" across the bottom!! Wonderful Santa cover with Santa looking right at the little boy or girl reading his story. The first four pages are devoted to the story of Old Santa Claus with two pages with three color illustrations each. The rest of the book is other childrens story with two more pages with color illustrations. Cover is nice and clean with great color and very little wear. Just a tiny spot at the very top. Spine is a bit weak with a split at the bottom 1/3 and toward the middle, but is intact. Inside is nice and clean overall with just a few small stains on a couple of pages and a few very small edge tears. Back cover has a 2" tear, as shown. Buyer is responsible for postage and insurance charges. Please note, these die cuts will be shipped in a box or between very heavy cardboard. I normally ship priority mail, or with a larger package, parcel post may be used. Rates will be for continental U.S. Foreign rates differ. M.O., paypal, or personal checks accepted. Insurance charges would be extra. Personal checks held 10 days on items $25.00 or more. Pa. non-dealers please include 6% sales tax. Thanks!
